Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the in-
stallation of transceiving devices pro-
vided that they are installed accord-
ing to rules of good engineering prac-
tice respecting the manufacturer’s in-
dications by a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road in the event
of assembly of devices which imply
modifications to the features of the
car. This may also cause lapse of war-
ranty in relation to faults caused by
the change or either directly or indi-
rectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation of
accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A.
and/or installed in compliance with
the provided instructions.“DUAL DRIVE”
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
The car is provided with an electric
power steering system which only
works with the key at MARand the
engine running. The system called
“Dual drive” allows to customise the
effort required to turn the steering
wheel according to driving conditions.
ON/OFF (CITY function)
Press fig. 118in the central part of
the dashboard to turn the function on
and off.
The message CITY appears on the
multifunctional display when the
function is on.
With the CITY function the effort on
the steering wheel is lighter, thus fa-
cilitating parking manoeuvres: this is
particularly useful when driving in
towns. TRANSCEIVERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle
mobile phones, CB radios, amateur
radio etc.) shall not be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is
mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar de-
vices inside the passenger compart-
ment (without separated aerial) pro-
duces radio-frequency electromag-
netic fields which, amplified by the
resonance effects inside the passenger
compartment, may cause electrical
systems equipping the car to mal-
function. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a po-
tential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and recep-
tion of these devices may be affected
by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly
comply with the instructions for use
provided by the mobile phone’s man-
ufacturer.

REFUELLING
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the
fuel filler is too small to introduce the
beak of a leaded petrol pump. The
petrol octane rating (RON) must not
be lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst
leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emer-
gency, as this would damage the cat-
alyst beyond repair.
MULTIJET ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the forma-
tion of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.In order to avoid these problems, dif-
ferent types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas). If refuelling with
diesel fuel whose features are not suit-
able to the temperature of use, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions
shown on the container with the fuel.
Pour the additive into the tank before
the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold ar-
eas, it is advisable to refuel using lo-
cally available fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up
twice after the pump switches off.
Further top-ups could cause faults in
the fuel feeding system. It is vital that the sensors
are always clean in order
for the system to work
properly. Take great care
when cleaning the sensors not to
scratch or damage them; avoid us-
ing dry, rough or hard cloths. Clean
the sensors with clean water with
the addition of car shampoo if nec-
essary. In washing stations, clean
the sensors quickly, keeping the
steam jet/high pressure washing
nozzles at least 10 cm away from
the sensors.
The driver is always and
only responsible for park-
ing and other dangerous manoeu-
vres. Always make sure that there
are no people, animals or objects
in the way when carrying out these
manoeuvres. Parking sensors are
designed to assist drivers: in all
cases, you must always pay the ut-
most attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even when
these are carried out a low speed.

LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, the
front seat belt reels contain a load
limiter which allows controlled sag in
such a way as to dose the force acting
on the chest and shoulders during the
belt restraining action in case of front
crash.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respect-
ing and ensuring that all the other oc-
cupants of the car also respect the lo-
cal laws in force in relation to the use
of seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before starting off.
Seat belts must also be used by preg-
nant women: risk will be significantly
reduced for both the expectant
mother and the child in the event of
an accident.
Of course they must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that it
passes under the abdomen, see fig. 7).
fig. 7L0D0133m
fig. 8L0D0134m
fig. 9L0D0135m
The belt must not be
twisted. The upper part
must cross the shoulder and the
chest diagonally. The lower part
must adhere to the hips not to the
abdomen. Do not use devices (clips,
etc.) to hold the seat belt away from
your body.
WARNING
Never disassemble or tam-
per with the seat belt or
pretensioner components. All in-
terventions must be performed by
qualified and authorised personnel
only. Always go to a Lancia Deal-
ership
WARNING
For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make
sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and hips. Always fasten
the seat belts on both the front and
the rear seats. Travelling without
seat belts will increase the risk of
severe injury and even death in the
event of an accident.

GROUP 0 and 0+ (fig. 10)
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which, supporting the head, does not
induce stress on the neck in the event
of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is held in place by the car
seat belts and in turn it must restrain
the child with its own belts.GROUP 1 (fig. 11)
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight,
children may be carried facing for-
wards.

WARNING
GROUP 2 (fig. 12)
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use
the car seat belts directly. The child
seat is only needed to position the
child correctly with respect to the
belts so that the diagonal section
crosses the child’s chest and never the
neck and is snug on the hips not the
abdomen.
The figure is indicative for
assembly purposes only.
Refer to the instructions supplied

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front airbags
for the driver and passenger and win-
dow bags (head protection system). It
may be provided with optional front
side bags.
The front driver / passenger air bags
have been designed to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the cushion between the oc-
cupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect
car’s occupants in front crashes and
therefore non-activation in other types
of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make
the bag inflate in the event of a frontal
crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front occu-
pant’s body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate im-
mediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of but complemen-
tary to the belts, which you are rec-
ommended to always wear, as speci-
fied by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.In the event of a collision, a person
not wearing a seat belt may be thrown
forward and con into contact with the
bag before it has fully opened. The
protection offered by the cushion is
reduced in such a case.
Front air bag may not be activated in
the following situations:
❒in collisions against highly de-
formable objects not affecting the
car front surface (e.g. bumper col-
lision against guard rail, etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath
other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. underneath a truck or a
guard rail); in this case, the bags
would offer no additional protec-
tion with respect to the seat belt
and their deployment is unneces-
sary. No deployment in such cases
is consequently not the sign of a
fault.
The front airbags (driver and passen-
ger) are designed and calibrated to
protect front seat occupants who are
wearing seat belts. The volume of
front air bags at max. inflation fills
most of the space between the steer-
ing wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S
SIDE, fig. 17
It consists of an instant-inflating cush-
ion contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel.

❒will light up on the instrument
panel; wait for warning lights
Yand
mto go out. This will hap-
pen faster when the engine is
warm;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way
down without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition key to AV Vas
soon as the warning light
mturns
off. Waiting too long will waste the
work done by the glow plugs. Re-
lease the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT With the engine cold,
the accelerator must be entirely re-
leased when turning the ignition key
to position AV V.
If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOP before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
Yremains lit, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR; if the warn-
ing lights remain on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you
still cannot start the engine.HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED (petrol and Multijet
engines)
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine
turn at medium speed. Accelerate
smoothly;
❒do not demand maximum perfor-
mance for the first few kilometres.
Wait until the engine coolant gauge
starts moving.Warning light
mwill
blink for 60 seconds after
starting or during pro-
longed cranking to indicate
a fault to the glow plug heating sys-
tem. Use the car normally if the en-
gine starts and go to a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive,
you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
Never jump start the engine
by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
A quick burst on the accel-
erator before turning off the
engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to
turbocharged engines.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition
key to MARwhen the engine is off.
